Actually, thousands of male chicks are picked from the thousands upon thousands of chicks hatched as the male chicks (ahem) do not lay eggs and if there's more than one rooster, you have a cockfight. Perhaps somebody can come up with an economical way to cuddle the chick and send it on it's way, but until then this is instantaneous and necessary. I would think that the people could aim better, though. Having the chicks fall on the floor, of course, is NOT instantaneous. Sorting the chicks, hundred thousand a day, can't be done with loving hands. I could wish it could, but it can't and still feed millions of people. The person filming this video wants everybody to be vegans. And trying to be as coarse as possible with the video to gross people out. These people don't run in screaming, stop the cruelty. They watch and video the most ugly of what is possible, then edit to even make it more ugly. Does this make me hard hearted or cruel? I couldn't do that job, but then I couldn't do the much more humane killing in an animal shelter,either. But are both necessary? Unfortunately. When a better way is invented to feed millions of people, I'm sure it will happen. And when NO KILL happens in the animal shelters, there won't be as much need killing of healthy adoptable animals,either. Look at the Calgary model.
